Team shirts, with initials


My last league wasn’t memorable. For reason unbeknown to me, one of my former teammates, recommended me to a 6.0 team, and the two captains won’t take no for an answer. Not that I mind the level but I really had no interest to join.

After joining, I discovered that I didn’t enjoy the team at all.

First, the atmosphere was bit cutthroat – that teammates were pretty ruthless to elk out a win. Hello, I play for fun – which was the reason I didn’t want to join.

Second, many players were under rated. … This is a long topic but I’ll stop here.

Third, the two captains were divorced and are now dating. They went out as to put their initials on the shirt and forced us to buy. This was a first. The shirt is pretty ugly …

Fourth, they didn’t know or don’t want to know how to handle the game payment, and held on to my over pay for years. Funny, years later, one of them started calling me to fill in … and when I asked for a refund, the captain said “oh, then I won’t charge you tonight.” The nighty game fee was 1/3 less than the USTA league’s. Oh well.
